Let’s dig deep into this topic together with Dr Venkatraman Chandra-Mouli (WHO)

MMS Workshop

Sexual and reproductive ill-health is a major contribution to the
burden of disease among young people. The right of access to
comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is grounded in fundamental human
rights. The objective of CSE is to ensure that young people can build
their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to responsibly enjoy their
sexuality – physically and emotionally, individually and in
relationships.

The World Health Summit is the annual conference of the M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centers, Universities and National Academies.
Through the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) for Health, it is organized
in collaboration with national academies of science in more than 67
countries.
The Summit aims to improve health all over the planet,
catalyzing that process through collaboration and open dialogue, and
steering tomorrow’s agenda to improve research, education, healthcare,
and policy outcomes.

ECTMIH brings together scientists and experts from Europe and from all
over the world, including many delegates from low and middle income
countries. This biennial event is patronised by FESTMIH, the Federation of European Societies of Tropical Medicine and International Health.

In 2017, the Antwerp Institute of Tropical Institute (ITM) and the Belgian Platform for International Health (Be-Cause Health)
will join hands with FESTMIH for the festive 10th edition. Building on
the successes of previous meetings, it will consolidate ECTMIH's
standing as Europe's leading conference and networking event in its
field.

The MMS Symposium will address the challenges of tackling
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) by looking at the determinants of NCDs,
the organisation of health care and the role of civil societies. A
“business-as-usual” approach won’t suffice. NCDs kill 40 million people
each year. NCDs are currently responsible for almost 70% of global
deaths.

The global community is presented with an
unprecedented challenge and an opportunity: to avert a potential 18
million health worker shortfall and shape increasing demand for
additional health and social workforce jobs. In doing so, we will make
progress towards universal health coverage and global health security
while also contributing to gains across the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development (e.g. quality education, gender equality, reduced
inequalities, decent jobs and inclusive economic growth).

Fourth Global Forum on Human Resources for Health

Fourth Global Forum on Human Resources for Health

New public health challenges and the digital revolution are changing global health practices. In the future, we will need to develop decision-making tools to ensure more efficient and effective healthcare, and to establish a more specific, appropriate and targeted approach through what can be referred to as "Precision Global Health".

The seventh edition of GHF will explore this topic, and in particular by ensuring better knowledge and understanding of tools, changes to practices, and challenges; by presenting current initiatives from the field and future actions, partnerships and frameworks.

The International AIDS Society (IAS) announced that
Amsterdam, Netherlands will host the 22nd International AIDS Conference
(AIDS 2018). AIDS 2018 is expected to bring together some 18,000
participants from around the world. “The Netherlands is a great example
of what happens when a government supports outstanding science and
embraces evidence-based HIV programmes in combination with a robust
commitment to human rights,” said Chris Beyrer, President of the IAS.
